I have a Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000 2 TB in this enclosure running on windows 7. It shows my drive is connected but I can't see in anywhere in My Computer. What the hell am I doing wrong? Does it support 2 TB? Any advice would be great. Thank you!

Yes it does, I just installed a 1 TB Seagate HD in it with no issues, it is a SATA drive.

There is updated firmware to support 3TB drives in each drive bay. But I don't know about 4TB. It might work or need another firmware update.

No it won't support 4TB drives. According to the specs it will support 3TB.

According to the manual; it can accommodate 2TB. I would think, as long as the interface format was correct(SATA), the capacity capability would depend on how much room the drive required(is there physical room in the HD230 for a 3-4TB hard drive). Look into Solid State Drives. If you can find one with that capacity; it will be physically smaller than an optical drive.

NO! It does NOT work with anything larger than 2TB. I purchased it specifically for use with 3TB and 4TB drives - and it does NOT work. I contacted customer service, and they affirmed that it only works with drives up to 2TB. I have to return it now. Very disappointed.

It can support any size hard drive you want. The only thing is the amount of bays to fit a drive. There is 2 bays within the computer.

Yes, it does. I'm running a 1Tb drive in it on Win7, and it works great. Never had an issue with it.

Yes. It has a working USB port that supports most USB functioning items including external hard drives.

This DEVICE is 500GB, size is right in the description of the item. Not sure what you're asking about 1TB??? Mine works with WIN7 Dell laptop and a 1.7GH HP desktop PC.

Hi FYI I dont think that the unit will support a drive over 3TB. 2TB is the limit. But maybe the unit you get will You should make sure to check on that. mine does not. Sorry I cant answer you question I have never tried RAID with my units they are just dumb drives.

Yes, I'm running the 8tb version and it has the full 8tb, but for some reason I think the device used the first drive closes to the power button first for storage in this setup, but yes it works!

It does not come with a hard drive. It only has the installation bay for one up to 2TB.

Don't buy this one! It does not have a 20GB hard drive as advertised. I returned it for exactly that reason on March 15th 2013. The company as well as amazon.com are aware of the incorrect listing, but neither bothered to correct it. It is also ridiculous slow. As far as the ports go, it has 1 USB, 1 Ethernet, 1 Micro SD, 1 Mini HDMI.

I have 2 (two) 8TB Seagate 3.5" hard drive in it and both works flawlessly, writing at the same time using a single eSATA interface. So with 4TB only 50% of my capacity per drive, it will support. In fact, I don't think it's the box's job to claim what it supports, it's just a marketing ploy and as you can see it's outdated. 6TB and 8TB drives are out now and they work.

If it specifies the capacity (eg, 2TB, 4TB) then yes. It can definitely handle up to two 2TB drives, unsure about the newer larger drives. Otherwise is should say "diskless".

Honestly, I only have 2 2TB drives installed and never had any problems since I first bought it! I don't see why it should not support 2 6TB drives! Hope this helps!
